Maybe, Maybe it's the close we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Maybe it's our kookiness
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds
Maybe it's our looseness
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do
Maybe, maybe it's the things we say
The words we've heard and the music we play
Maybe it's our cheapness
Or maybe, maybe it's the times we've had
The lazy days and the crazes and fads
Maybe it's our sweetness
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do
sounds like hes saying that if your in a certain social ,cultred, group ur just labelled as being trash and theres is no real reason for you to be labelled as 'trash' you are just coz of what you do
I remember listenting to this on long car rides with my parents when I was five or six...I've always seen it as somwhat atypical love song, about them being different and not fitting in, and creating a world of their own which is beautiful, but others can't understand it. But at the same time, it can be taken as such a view on the world by an individual And also like BirdFlew said, actually liking the feeling of being dirty and trash. Like ugliness turned beautiful...
A beautiful song of alienation, bringing people closer together.
rumour has it i was conceved to this song. Dosent matter ive loved it for ages
I'd just say its about being young and looked down on cos the way they live their lives even if some of it is self inflicted. The middle aged tutting you as u walk down the streets getting drunk ready for another night of debauchery, listening to music they find intolerable. All I know is thats what it makes me think of. The older generation and the more better bred looking down on us "Trash".
I love this song!
To me, this just seems like a song about two teenagers in love who are deeply looked down upon, but honestly just don’t care. The lyrics talk about their “kookiness”, their dyed hair and their fashion sense as well as their music. This is a very big stereotype for teenagers by them looking either scruffy or very different in their fashion sense, or their music which can be varied upon many time periods. Maybe these two teenagers are being looked down upon by others around them as they are young and may fall into rebellious stereotypes amongst older people around them. Though still no matter what happens or how much they are judged, they simply cannot find any reason to care about it and therefore label themselves as “trash” for simply being a “trashy” teenage stereotype.
white trash?
i don't know. Suede has such a tendency toward cheeky Glam, it's hard to tell!
Ah, nay, m'dear roger_wilco; 's merely a comment on their type, flambuoyant glam indiekids. Looks down at own clothes and (34) tasteless bracelets... oh, moi = such a cliche...
it's actually a personal song about one of Brett's relationships.
